Modern Sonic in Sonic 2
About the Game
Modern Sonic in Sonic 2 is an online game upgraded as a ROM pack by a fan of the Classic Sonic 2. It combines Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic with the opportunity to experience the Green Hill Zone and Chemical Plant with significant modifications. You would think Classic Sonic is fast. Wait till you see the speedy Sonic with boost levels. The Modern Sonic can sneak up on his enemies by sliding under the objects and jumping over obstacles. The game has given a quality upgrade to the visuals while retaining the charm of the retro world.
